NBA Christmas is Here!!! the 2011 draft day thread

Why would they ? Horrible move for them imo, Millsap alone is worth DJ and TT

Don't want Millsap, not enough size between him and BB.

We need a Tall lanky PF/C who can put the ball in the hole. LMa, KG, Pau, ZBo, etc. etc. (I know those guys aren't available, that's just what we need to look for)

We need to get an offensive center. Who are the FA centers?

Why do people on the radio keep saying we are doing these moves to get Chris Paul? I think we are doing this more for the way the Thunder was built, not to put all our eggs in the CP3/D12 basket. I think Cho realizes that would just be idiotic to do that.

Because people need hope in order to survive.

Yeah I think Marc James and Taylor Zarzour are totally off point. Reality is, even if they are gunning for CP3, it doesn't change a thing. Doesn't change the fact they figure to have a top 5 pick next year where they could get a big time player there. If we could get Barnes next year, a possible lineup of Kemba/Hendo/Barnes/Thomas/Biyombo is not bad and is defiantly a resemblance of what happened in OKC. They seem to be overlooking this. Even if CP3 goes elsewhere, we still have that pick. We don't forfeit the pick.

The other thing they are completely overlooking is the fact that Detroit was rumored to take Biyombo at 8. They keep saying, why would you not take Knight at 7 and then Bioyombo defiantly would had been there at 9. Not the case according to many rumors...someone should alert these guys.

BTW I see the Bobcats are marketing the picks as "thunder and lightning" haha. I kind of like it!

[BigSlam]

The Warriors purchased the rights to the No. 39 overall pick for $2 million and grabbed 20-year-old big man Jeremy Tyler.

I don't listen to them much, but tuned in for a bit Friday. I thought they were idiots in several respects, but especially for talking about Paul so much. IMHO that ship has sailed. The Cats should have drafted him but they didn't. He's going to either stay in NO or go to a big market team where he has a shot to win. Odds of him coming to Charlotte are so low that it's not worth talking about at this point.

No he isn't.
